Seismic anisotropy is caused mainly by the lattice-preferred orientation of anisotropic
minerals. Major breakthroughs have occurred in the study of lattice-preferred orientation in …

This review describes the use of an experimental technique known as electron back-scatter
diffraction (EBSD) to measure microtexture, that is, spatially specific texture measured on an …

A novel algorithm for ODF (orientation density function) estimation from diffraction pole
figures is presented which is especially well suited for sharp textures and high-resolution …

A Taylor-type polycrystalline model, together with a new fully-implicit time-integration
scheme has been developed and implemented in a finite element program to simulate the …

The concept of strength envelopes, developed in the 1970s, allowed quantitative predictions
of the strength of the lithosphere based on experimentally determined constitutive equations …

The classical Fourier transform is one of the most widely used mathematical tools in
engineering. However, few engineers know that extensions of harmonic analysis to …

Using orientation data from experimentally deformed olivine, we explore some practical
problems with the J-index, a commonly applied measure of fabric strength. We show that the …

Processes involved in the development of igneous and metamorphic rocks involve some
combination of crystal growth, solution, movement and deformation, which is expressed as …

Since early antiquity dimension stones have been used as building materials due to their
natural beauty and availability, and the diversity of their applications has increased ever …
